Trane MOT18956 Blower Motor | 1/3 HP 200-230V 3-Speed PSC OEM

Trane MOT18956 is a genuine factory-authorized PSC blower motor specifically designed for Trane and American Standard furnaces and air handlers. This 1/3 HP high-efficiency Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement is engineered to deliver the precise 1080 RPM required to maintain your system's factory-rated airflow and efficiency.

As a 3-speed blower motor, the MOT18956 allows for tailored airflow across multiple speed taps, ensuring consistent comfort and quiet operation. Built with a standard 48-frame design and a 1/2" diameter shaft, it offers a direct mechanical fit for a wide range of residential HVAC units.

Compatibility & Cross-Reference

The MOT18956 is the official service replacement for several discontinued and manufacturer-specific part numbers. It is the required OEM match if your current motor or manual lists:

  • Replaces Trane / American Standard P/Ns: MOT09662, MOT06362, X70671192010
  • Manufacturer Equivalents: Genteq / GE Model 5KCP39KGT553AS, 5KCP39GGR356S
  • Common Applications: Used in various 2TEC, 4TEC, and TWE series air handlers.

Important Installation: Required Capacitor

  • Required Capacitor: This motor requires a 7.5 MFD / 370V (or 440V) Run Capacitor.
  • Specified Part: While many 7.5 MFD capacitors will work, the P291-0754 is the specifically recommended oval run capacitor for this application.
  • Maintenance Tip: Always replace the run capacitor when installing a new blower motor. A weakened capacitor is a leading cause of premature motor failure and can void the manufacturer's warranty.

Why Choose a Genuine Trane OEM Motor?

  • Engineered Precision: Unlike universal motors, this OEM part matches the exact torque profile and electrical specs of your original unit.
  • Whisper-Quiet Operation: Factory-balanced to minimize vibration and cabin noise for a more comfortable living environment.
  • Plug-and-Play Fit: Features the correct wire colors and mounting dimensions to simplify the installation process.
